The Living, Rocking, Sexy Dead

Given the typical work-to-sleep ratio in this culture, most of us are familiar with our inner zombie. Usually we attack it with coffee and yell at it when it spills the piping-hot weapon on our shirt when were trying to drag it out the door. Its rare that we take the zombie out to play and even rarer that we surrender to it completely and let the zombie take us out for a night of undead kicks. The Halfway to Halloween Zombie Prom at the Monterey Club (2608 S. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale) will be a great opportunity to give this a try.

At this months installment of the Shimmy Shake Revue, presented as always by the sultry Morgan La Rue, the living will look like the dead (wear costumes!), but they wont be nearly as stiff. Instead, zombie-looking boozers will be rocking out to ghoulish industrial bands Half Head, Twitch, D/Effektor, and Phoenix/Nebulin in between spookily seductive burlesque performances by La Rue, Ember Furie, Val Vampyre, and Angie Z. The party starts at 9 p.m., and it costs $10 to get in. Call 954-598-1887, or visit themontereyclub.net.
